Pits

By McRae, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Can more than one figure occupy a pit?

No. One pit is equal to one square. However the other heroes still have to follow the normal rules, for getting across the pit. Unless they are evil people they just step on their fallen comrade :)

Exception: if the pit spans multiple spaces, then it may be possible to fit more than one figure into it (depending on the figure size).

But pits have no effect on the normal figure stacking rules.

Do heros or monster in a pit block los? Does an bigger monster can walk over a hero or monster in a pit?

Any ruleing about that (official or unofficial)?

Thanx for answers!

By the rules-as-written, I believe figures in a pit still block movement and line-of-sight exactly as if they were not in a pit.

correct.

Because all pits in dungeons are actually on 2 feet deep.

It tough to be scared by the "Spiked Pot Hole" trap card.

Indeed. And all Mages shoot fireballs out of their ankles, archers draw their bows using their calves. Thats why they can't see out of the 2' deep pit.

Ok but seriously for a second... Why can't a fellow Hero pull a fallen one out of the pit either (especially the meter deep one)? Instead of just jumping right over them and leaving the poor sap that fell in left to be surounded and beaten to a pulp from inside defensless (nearly, because all Hero's wear 'thinking' caps)... Grey Kerr is holding a fine grapple hook too you know!!
